Hi dear friends,

Are you very slow in maths? Are you taking more time to solve simple mathematical problems? Are you preparing for entrance exams? Do you want to be excellent in simple calculations? Do you want your memory to be increased?

Please find the attached file. It will be so useful for all of you. I hope you will get the real fruit of this attachment.

Thanks and regards,

Speed Mathematics is nothing but the various formulae stolen from the Holy Veda. It is, in fact, called "Vedic Mathematics." Our Vedas and other holy scriptures are rich with Science. One can take a basic course of 07 Lessons at [Vedic Maths Tutorial](http://www.vedicmaths.org/introduction/tutorial/tutorial.asp).

Please remember that these techniques are only mastered by practice. You have to practice them a lot. Children are very quick to pick up the concept, and they should be taught these at a very young age - as and when they are introduced to simple Arithmetic. It is well known that one who is proficient in mathematics is an overall genius.

ya ya you are absolutely correct, sir. Without practice, it's just only a doc only. If we are using it, it will be more than anything.

The doc is indeed good and useful for daily application in mathematics. However, I thought I should contribute my thoughts here.

The shortcuts in the document are a very small excerpt from "Vedic Mathematics." Current Vedic Mathematics was rediscovered, then unfortunately lost, and then rediscovered again from the Vedas, solely by 'Sri Jagadguru Swami Bharati Krishna Tirthaji Maharaj (1884-1960).'

According to Tirthaji, "All of mathematics is based on sixteen Sutras, or word-formulae" (and these formulae are truly universal - none of the mathematics known to humanity so far is beyond the scope of these 16 formulas). One must learn Vedic maths in the proper way through Sanskrit to grasp this concept.

Vedic mathematics is so powerful that daily mathematics can seem trivial for the knowledgeable and magical for others. The advanced applications of Vedic mathematics are incomprehensible to an average human mind - any research conducted on Vedic Mathematics has led to the application of advanced calculus in solving extremely complex problems.

Dear Kathir,

Good one, I have read about it in Vedic Mathematics. However, if we have good memory power, we can easily remember the calculated figures. If we are poor in memory, it will be difficult to recall what 7*8 equals. Similarly, if our memory is not strong, I believe it will be more challenging to remember all the procedures to arrive at the answer, which is 56.

Dear Kadhir,

Very good compilation. I have 2 observations:

1. There is a typographical error. It should be 304 and not 364.

MULTIPLYING BELOW 20
20 19 x 16 = 300 (19-4=16-1=15)
-1 -4 04 (15X2X10=30x10=300) -> multiplication by factors
364

2. If the numbers in the unit digit add up to 10, then the method of squaring numbers ending with 5 will work. For example, 67 x 63 will be 4221.

Dear Mr. DHIRVEL,

I don't know from where you got this, but the techniques are clearly taken from a famous book called "Vedic Mathematics" by Jagadguru Swami Sri Bharati Krishna Tirthaji Maharaja. While I appreciate that you have shared valuable knowledge, it would be appropriate to give credit to the original creator.

I have learned some of these techniques; hence, I know that they are from Vedic Mathematics.

Dear Kadhir,

Very good compilation. I have two observations:

There is a typographical error. It should be 304 and not 364.

1. MULTIPLYING BELOW 20
20 19 x 16 = 300 (19-4=16-1=15,)
-1 -4 04 (15X2X10=30x10=300) -> multiplication by factors

2. If the numbers in the unit digit add up to 10, then also the method of squaring numbers ending with 5 will work. For example, 67 x 63 will be 4221.

Hi friend, I made a mistake while preparing the multiplication below 20. You are right; the answer is 304. The second point is correct; we can use the method of squaring numbers ending with 5 if the unit digit sum equals 10.
